Part of the most powerful line of vacs RIDGID has ever made, the RIDGID 9 Gal. NXT wet dry vac is sleeker than ever and was designed as a modern vac on the outside with amped up power and performance on the inside. The 4.25 peak horsepower motor and 9 Gal. drum size are perfect for home improvement projects and cleanup around the garage and shop. The large 1-7/8 in. diameter locking hose locks onto the vac so it wont pull loose during use and the added Dual-Flex feature resists collapsing and offers the mobility you need to reach tight places. This vac was built for comfort and convenience with an ergonomic front-to-back top carry handle, comfort grip drum carry handles and latches that securely seal the lid to the drum. Connect the hose to the blower port for added versatility and use for blowing leaves, grass clippings and more. This vac’s patented Qwik Lock Filter Fastening System makes installing or removing your filter quick, easy and secure. Replacement filter VF4000 and Size B – VF3503 Dust Collection Bags sold separately.

I would have like to have had a crevice tool included rather than it being an extra part that I have to purchase separately. I do like the size, the carrying handle and the weight. I also like the storage slots for the tubing.

Bought this a few weeks ago since I started a kitchen remodel and the workers don’t know how to clean up after themselves. This thing works great. The only negative is the power cord needs to be longer. I like the easy to remove filter. All in all I highly recommend this unit.

I use this Wet Dry Vac in my front garage. I moved my big RIDGID to the back garage for bigger projects. My new one has plenty of power to serve all my needs cleaning up the floor and ing the inside of my van.

I have used several times and works very well. Attachments easy to change and store.
Samson Kuhic (verified owner) –
works well. accessories are useful. would have liked to have a head that can be used to vacuum car interiors.
Jadyn Walker (verified owner) –
Powerful section. But doesn’t come with many attachments, and the hose is not very long or flexible. But other than that it’s great. If those things were better, I would have given it 5 stars.

Love the new Rigid shop vac and the tools. It is so powerful. Will be purchasing some other tools to use with it.

I have only used it twice, but it has met my expectations

Vacuum works well, comes with some nice accessories, but it’s just an odd shape so not as easy to store inconspicuously!

I purchased the optional dust collector for a 5 gallon bucket. I’m really pleased that I did as it keeps the majority of small particulate dust away from the filter. excellent investment on the complete setup.

Gave this as a gift to our son. My husband has one and thought his worked so well that he bought one as a Christmas gift.

Great quality and at a good price

The shop vac is suction is strong but the unit is quite loud. I don’t like how the air blows out from the unit on the other end but other than that it does it’s job.

So far so good, have yet to use in wet conditions but I know it will do great
Bernhard Gorczany (verified owner) –
This is a great vacuum for the price. Some more accessories would have been nice but overall I’m totally satisfied.

I like this new Ridgid wet/dry vac because it has a large capacity and it is light and easy to put together. It also has a lot of power. I have always had the Shop Vac brand, but I think I just changed to Ridgid permanently because the Ridgid accessories were also there for me to buy. I am going back to buy the micro cleaning attachments to get the small areas in my car and garage.
Magdalen Monahan (verified owner) –
I bought this Vac and I am very please with the was it works. My only complaint are the way one of the attachments works. It tend to push the sawduct rather than pick it up.. Otherwise it great

I bought this during Home Depot’s black November deals. I used it to clean up my garage and both interiors of my cars. The cord is plenty long, the attachments are useful and has yet to disappoint. My only nitpick is I think the house should be more flexible.
